Re: Amorphophallus konjac, multiple buds

From: ". ." iamwhatiam52 at hotmail.com> on 2002.04.26 at 03:27:06(8643) Taylor, After watching this tuber for a few more weeks, there are DEFINITELY four large and three small buds, all sprouting vigorously. No "dominant" bud. Has anyone had experience with this? Does anyone know if allowing several buds to grow will result in my prized Goliath tuber splitting into multiple little Davids? +More Mitch Reply-To: aroid-l@mobot.org To: Multiple recipients of list AROID-L Subject: Re: Amorphophallus konjac, multiple buds Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2002 15:18:40 -0500 (CDT) Mitch, they are tubers... There is a dominant bud that normally keeps the others from growing! I don't think you would have multiple shoots (leafs) on one tuber!! you should have just the one big tuber!1 But who knows it will take its own course! Hope this would help and have fun growing Taylor Hyndman on 4/15/02 11:00 AM, . . at iamwhatiam52@hotmail.com wrote: > > > > I have a thirty pound A. konjac bulb (tuber? corm?) whose flowering tip was > damaged.
